AUTOCAD FOR MAC 2014, 2013, ETC CRASHING AT START UP. PLEASE HELP!

[ITSGABEEZY]

Hi Everyone!

I am in much needed help! I have been trying to dig into AutoCAD for Mac technical issue solutions, but have yet to find a solution..

I installed the student version of AutoCAD for Mac in January and had no problems. I took an online class and worked through it. Come February when my REAL autocad online class started, AutoCAD would not launch what so ever. I have not updated my system until now since i am trying to fix it. I have uninstalled/installed both 2014 and 2013 various times. The most that will happen is the launch up starting, but without allowing me to start up a new document. It will let me load but I can not even edit the loaded one. I need my CAD! Any solutions?

Thank you!

System Info:

MAC OS X

Version: 10.9.2

Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Startup Disk: Macintosh HD

Hi,

Have you by chance migrated your system to the new Mac or restored from Time Mashine backup with AutoCAD already installed?

Hi Maxim! 

No... I thought my MAC was fully upraged? and I never deleted time machine. But right after I posted this message it started working normally.. The irony! 

Thank you!

Hi,
If you have AutoCAD 2014 with SP1 installed, you can try to reset AutoCAD preferences as described here:

If this will not help, than you need to try to reset standalone license:
you need to follow this article:
http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-for-mac/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles...
or "illustrated" guide here:

Then you need to activate AutoCAD again with your serial.
